I know a coach/ump, that has taught his kids, with a runner on 2nd to bunt on the first baseline, real close, also on the pitch r2 is stealing, they hit the cutout at third base and turn for home there, missing third by 3-4 feet, and easily scoring even if they get the BR @ 1st. His theory is there is no one there to see the touch/no touch of third. Very sneeky, obnoxious and a poor sport, but I gotta give him credit on using the two man to his advantage. This kind of Coach is bad for the game though.
